Frontstretch Quotes

An Interview with:

Q. Austin, with your season on the line, was that a fair move?

AUSTIN DILLON: I don't know, man. It's been two years. This is the first car I've had with a shot to win. I felt like with two to go, we were the fastest car. Obviously had to have a straightaway. Wrecked the guy. I hate to do that, but sometimes you just got to have it.

I got to thank the good Lord above. It's been tough for the last two years, man. I care about RCR, these fans, my wife. This is my first for my baby girl. It means a lot. I hate it, but I had to do it.

Q. You can see the emotion from you, what this means to you. What did you say to yourself going down the backstretch? What were you willing to do?

AUSTIN DILLON: Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes.

Q. What is it with you and walk-off wins? You did it at Daytona a few years ago.

AUSTIN DILLON: We just never give up. Man, we have great partners in Johnny Morris and Bass Pro Shops, POET, Jeff Broin. I can't thank all the people enough that helped this team. 16 Senix Tools. Yeah, just got to get it done sometimes.
